Chapter 545: Night of Blood and Fire
The fire rose too fast and fiercely, Yan Liqiang hadn't noticed it at first, but in the blink of an eye, the fire became fierce, and on such a night, the blazing fire was particularly conspicuous.
Yan Liqiang squinted his eyes for a while, and then looked at Wang Jianbei, "Where is the place where this burns out?"
"It's a big market in the gathering area of the Ebony Ministry!" Wang Jianbei glanced at the distance, like an uncertain prophet, and a smile appeared on his face, "That big market is the lifeblood of those people in the Ebony Ministry, in addition to the various goods brought to Pingxi City by the Ebony Ministry, there is also the most grain stored there by the Ebony Ministry, as soon as this fire burns, the people of the Ebony Department will become mad dogs!"
"Hahaha, rejoice!" Yan Liqiang laughed, "Is the Overseer in charge over there?"
"Yes, it's Yucheng watching over there, come, come, come, let's continue drinking!" Wang Jianbei beckoned, and a subordinate brought another pot of wine......
......
With the fire, the entire Shatu gathering area became chaotic.
The big market of the Ebony Department was connected to the rows of Ebony tribesmen's houses, and those houses, all of which were wooden structures, the fire together spread out from all directions at a very fast speed, so that a group of people from the Ebony Department rushed out of the houses with shouts and screams to put out the fire!
The market was watched at night, and there was more than one person watching the market, but when the people of the Ebony Department rushed to the vicinity of the market, they found that all the people watching the market had been killed.
The corpses left near the market, in addition to the guards of the Ebony Ministry guarding the market, there were actually a few people from the Uli Ministry.
The corpses of those people from the Uli tribe seemed to have been killed by the people of the Ebony tribe, and some of them died completely, and most importantly, on the bodies of the corpses of the Uli tribe, fire folds were also found, as well as pine oil that they carried with them......
However, at this time, it is important to put out the fire, and when those people from the Ebony Department rushed to the side of several nearby wells with various tools, they found that the wellhead of the well had been sealed by people throwing huge stones, and there was no water at all......
All the Shatu people of the Ebony Department could only watch with pale faces as the fire in their residential area grew bigger and bigger, spreading from the market to the surrounding houses.
In the past few days, there has been some small friction between the Uli and Ebony departments, and there are dead and wounded on both sides, which are like powder kegs.
"Kill those dog mongrels of the Uli Ministry......" The people of the Ebony Ministry, who wanted to put out the fire, roared, their eyes red, dropping the bucket or something like that, and picking up various weapons instead.
In this case, the people of the Eudy Department completely broke out, and as long as they could still hold a knife, they all picked up their knives, roared angrily, and rushed towards the gathering area of the Uli Department like a torrent.
......
At the head of the Jiulong Bridge, Liu Yucheng, the overseer of Pingxi County, wearing full armor, rode on a rhinosaurus horse with a golden sword, coldly looking at the raging fire and chaotic roaring scene in the distant Shatu gathering area, under the background of the fire, the expression on the face of Liu Yucheng, the overseer of Pingxi County, was sharp and cold, like steel and iron.
On Liu Yucheng's side, the spears were like a forest, and a team of sergeants had already been on standby here, and on the road to the bridgehead, three rows of iron shields more than one person high had been erected, blocking all the roads leading to the Shatu gathering area, and the roofs of the buildings on both sides of the bridgehead were densely packed with crossbowmen.
The fire is the signal!
There was a loud and loud sound of shaking in the streets, and the sergeants in the big camp in the city were hurrying in, and everything was planned.
Not far from the river, there was a slight commotion, and a team of black-clothed people wearing night clothes suddenly emerged from under the water and landed on the riverside, and then that group of people quickly came to Liu Yucheng to return to his life!
"My lord, the mission has been completed!" The team of men in black led the team by a captain officer in Pingxi City, and the whole team was a master in the army.
Looking at the firelight in the distance, Liu Yucheng nodded with satisfaction, "You guys did a good job, take note of the credit first, go down and change your clothes first!"
"Yes!" the group of men in black quickly left.
Liu Yucheng's eyes were still firmly fixed on the gathering area of the Shatu people, but after a while, the sound of the riot in the gathering area of the Shatu people suddenly became several times louder, and suddenly became the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling, and it became more and more intense, Liu Yucheng knew that the task of the second team of men and horses he sent should be completed, but the evacuation route of the second team was not from the Jiulong Bridge, but from the east gate of the city......
In the Shatu gathering area, the people of the Uli and Ebony tribes have been completely chaotic at this time, and in the light of the fire, the two sides are on the street of the gathering area, slashing and slashing with flesh and blood.
Many of the Ebony tribes still had torches and pine oil in their hands, and after rushing into the neighborhoods where the Uli tribe gathered, they threw the torches into the houses where the Uli tribe lived, and then poured pine oil on them, and the entire Shatu gathering area was ablaze and smoke billowed out, and everywhere they were chasing and slashing the ebony and Uli tribesmen.
When the people of the Ebony tribe entered the gathering area of the Uli tribe, a group of guards from the Uli tribe rushed to their leader's house in a hurry, but at that time, the house of the leader of the Uli tribe had long been silent, and there was no one alive.
At this time, both sides were killed, and the Uli Department was suddenly leaderless, without unified command and dispatch, facing the people of the Ebony Department who came to kill, if they wanted not to die, those people from the Uli Department could only instinctively pick up their knives to resist, and the people of the Ebony Department were slashed and killed, and there was no other way.
The streets of the Shatu gathering area were already full of blood and flesh, and there were fallen corpses everywhere, and on both sides of the street, there were buildings that had been set on fire, and the flames were so bright that no one put out the fire, because those who went to fight the fire with tools probably had not run far before they were cut down by the other party with knives.
......
There is a corner defense team in Pingxi City, and this corner team is also the fire brigade in the city, because most of the buildings in the city in this era are wooden structures, and those buildings are still close to each other, and the consequences of a building catching fire are unimaginable, so the government of each city has organized a special fire fighting team.
Seeing the light of the fire in the gathering area of the Shatu people, the defense team of Pingxi City pulled the water wheel and rushed towards the Jiulong Bridge with the water dragon water gun, but when they rushed over, they were dumbfounded, the Jiulong Bridge was completely blocked, and knowing that the Overseer was sitting here, the captain of the defense team hurriedly went to meet Liu Yucheng.
Liu Yucheng looked at the captain of the defense team with a solemn face, "There has been a riot in the gathering area of the Shatu people in the city, the Uli Department and the Ebony Department are slashing and killing each other inside, the sword has no eyes, and there are dead people inside at any time, you go in at this time, that is, to send them to death, you wait in the back first, as a backup, and wait for the Shatu people to calm down inside, and then it is not too late to go in, if something happens to you, it is not easy for the official to explain to the county guard!"
Listening to the chaotic slashing sound coming from the Shatu settlement, the captain of the defense team also shrank his neck, nodded, and retreated......
Not long after the captain of the defense team retreated, hundreds of Shatu people with swords, torches, and pine oil rushed to the head of the Kowloon Bridge.
Liu Yucheng looked coldly at the Shatu people who rushed here, his eyes were full of murder, "Sure enough, it's the same as what the county guard said, you Shatu, you really have wolf ambitions, and at this time, you still want to fish in troubled waters and disrupt Pingxi City......"
As Liu Yucheng's hand waved down fiercely, the countless crossbows and arrows that had been prepared long ago shot towards those Shatu people like raindrops, and those Shatu people were shot to the ground one by one......
Two rounds of crossbows and arrows passed, and on the east side of the bridge, no one could stand up except for the corpses of the Shatu people on the ground......
